Health and safety

The quality of our services and their safe delivery is critical in the military environment, where so many working hours are spent face to face with the general public or in dangerous operating conditions.

We have excellent health and safety credentials:

  • Accredited to and complying with a number of quality, safety, health and environmental management schemes including ISO 9001, 14001, and OHSAS 18001
  • Consistently recognised by RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) for our health and safety performance. Find out more about our Health and Safety awards
  • Trained 64 trained trainers to deliver our own in-house training packages, accredited by IOSH, and undertake regular site surveys and risk assessments

Interserve operates around the ethos that if we get quality right today, there will be no accidents, incidents of ill health or damage to the environment tomorrow and into the future.

Training and development

We are committed to using fully-trained and competent teams, who are encouraged to excel through our ongoing learning and development programmes, including our own in-house training packages, such as COSHH, PPE, Manual Handling, Work at Heights.
